Court fines AfD politician Höcke over Nazi slogan, according to DW.
A regional court in the eastern German city of Halle ordered on Tuesday far-right politician Björn Höcke to pay 100 fines at a daily rate of €130 each for using a banned Nazi slogan.
Prosecutors say Höcke, a former history teacher, knew that “Everything for Germany” was a banned slogan of the SA.
He denied this during the trial, describing the phrase as an “everyday saying.”
Prosecutor Benedikt Bernzen argued in closing arguments that Höcke had used Nazi vocabulary “strategically and systematically” in the past.
